“He’ll Replace Terence Crawford”: Hearn Names the Next Pound-for-Pound King

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn has claimed that his fighter, undefeated American Jaron Ennis, will soon take over Terence Crawford’s spot as the best boxer in the world, pound-for-pound.

“I’ve seen all the top fighters. And I genuinely believe Jaron Ennis is the future No. 1 pound-for-pound.

I’m not talking about three years from now — I’m talking about within the next 12 months.

I think this guy will clean out the Junior Middleweight division, move up to Middleweight, and become a three-weight world champion.

He’s the one who’ll replace Terence Crawford. He’s that good,” — said Hearn.

Jaron Ennis (34-0, 30 KOs) will face Wisma Lima on October 11 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, USA.
